Question for People Who Use Real Players & Shaun

Post by BryanK »

I decided to make further changes to the database I'm building, and I wanted to see how people felt...

I've made every player in the database 1 year younger as a way to account for minor league service. Everyone still imports in the same year they made their MLB debut... they're just a year younger when they do so.

I've also bumped back the stat lines of Jackie Robinson and other fromer Negro League players so they debut when they're ~22 years old. I shaved off the last years of their careers when their performance began to slump, so they shouldn't age prematurely. Anything funky that might do, Shaun?

The problem with doing stuff like that is that it will hose the database for use in historical replays. Is that a problem? I use fictional teams & leagues and just seed with real players at the moment, so this is the best solution for me. If it makes the database uselss for enough people, I might consider releasing two versions... but the second one won't be out until after Xmas since I *really* need to start writing my applications for business school.

Just wanted to see where people were at...

Your world frightens and confuses me.
Put my faith in the people
And the people let me down.
So, I turned the other way,
And I carry on anyhow.
